3 Section 4: First-Aid Measures Description of first aid measures Inhalation IF INHALED: Remove victim to fresh air and keep at rest in a position comfortable for breathing. Administer oxygen if breathing is difficult. Give artificial respiration if victim is not breathing. If signs/symptoms continue, get medical attention. Skin Although exposure is unlikely, in case of contact immediately flush skin with running water. If skin irritation develops get medical advice/attention. Eye First aid is not expected to be necessary if material is used under ordinary conditions and as recommended. If irritation develops and persists, get medical attention. Ingestion Ingestion is not considered a potential route of exposure. Most important symptoms and effects, both acute and delayed Refer to Section 11 - Toxicological Information. Indication of any immediate medical attention and special treatment needed Notes to Physician All treatments should be based on observed signs and symptoms of distress in the patient. Consideration should be given to the possibility that overexposure to materials other than this product may have occurred. A potential health hazard associated with this gas is anoxia. Other information Ensure that medical personnel are aware of the material(s) involved and take precautions to protect themselves. RESCUERS SHOULD NOT ATTEMPT TO RETRIEVE VICTIMS OF EXPOSURE TO GASES WITHOUT ADEQUATE PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT. At a minimum, Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus must be worn. Victim(s) who experience any adverse effect after overexposure to this gas mixture must be taken for medical attention. Rescuers should be taken for medical attention if necessary. Take a copy of the label and the MSDS to physician or other health professional with victim(s). Section 5: Fire-Fighting Measures Extinguishing media Suitable Extinguishing Media Use extinguishing agent suitable for type of surrounding fire. Unsuitable Extinguishing Media No data available Special hazards arising from the substance or mixture Unusual Fire and Explosion Hazards Hazardous Combustion Products Advice for firefighters Containers may explode when heated. Ruptured cylinders may rocket. No data available Structural firefighters' protective clothing provides limited protection in fire situations ONLY; it is not effective in spill situations where direct contact with the substance is possible. Always wear thermal protective clothing when handling refrigerated/cryogenic liquids. Wear positive pressure self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA). Move containers from fire area if you can do it without risk. FIRE: If tank, rail car or tank truck is involved in a fire, ISOLATE for 800 meters (1/2 mile) in all directions; also, consider initial evacuation for 800 meters (1/2 mile) in all directions. FIRE INVOLVING TANKS: Fight fire from maximum distance or use unmanned hose holders or monitor nozzles. FIRE INVOLVING TANKS: Cool containers with flooding quantities of water until well after fire is out. Page 3 of 12

4 FIRE INVOLVING TANKS: Do not direct water at source of leak or safety devices; icing may occur. FIRE INVOLVING TANKS: Withdraw immediately in case of rising sound from venting safety devices or discoloration of tank. FIRE INVOLVING TANKS: ALWAYS stay away from tanks engulfed in fire. Section 6 - Accidental Release Measures Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures Personal Precautions Do not touch damaged containers or spilled material unless wearing appropriate protective clothing. Do not touch or walk through spilled material. Ventilate the area before entry. Emergency Procedures Stop leak if you can do it without risk. Keep unauthorized personnel away. Keep out of low areas. Stay upwind. Do not direct water at spill or source of leak. LARGE SPILL: Consider initial downwind evacuation for at least 500 meters (1/3 mile) Environmental precautions No special environmental precautions necessary. Methods and material for containment and cleaning up Containment/Clean-up Measures Reference to other sections Section 7 - Handling and Storage Stop leak if you can do it without risk. Do not direct water at spill or source of leak. Use water spray to reduce vapors; do not put water directly on leak, spill area or inside container. If possible, turn leaking containers so that gas escapes rather than liquid. Isolate area until gas has dispersed. Ventilate the area. Refer to Section 8 - Exposure Controls/Personal Protection and Section 13 - Disposal Considerations. Precautions for safe handling Handling Use only with adequate ventilation. Ventilate closed spaces before entering. Be aware of any signs of dizziness or fatigue, especially if work is done in a poorly ventilated area; exposures to fatal concentrations of this gas mixture could occur without any significant warning symptoms, due to olfactory fatigue or oxygen deficiency. Cylinders should be firmly secured to prevent falling or being knocked-over. Do not attempt to repair, adjust, or in any other way modify cylinders. If there is a malfunction or another type of operational problem, contact nearest distributor immediately. Empty containers retain product residue and can be hazardous. Do not cut, weld, puncture or incinerate container. Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities Storage Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place. Protect cylinders against physical damage. Cylinders should be firmly secured to prevent falling or being knocked-over. Specific end use(s) Refer to Section Relevant identified uses. Section 8 - Exposure Controls/Personal Protection Control parameters Exposure Limits/Guidelines Currently there are no applicable exposure limits established for this material. Page 4 of 12

5 Exposure controls Engineering Measures/Controls Personal Protective Equipment Pictograms Good general ventilation should be used. Ventilation rates should be matched to conditions. If applicable, use process enclosures, local exhaust ventilation, or other engineering controls to maintain airborne levels below recommended exposure limits. If exposure limits have not been established, maintain airborne levels to an acceptable level. Respiratory Follow the OSHA respirator regulations found in 29 CFR or European Standard EN 149. Use a NIOSH/MSHA or European Standard EN 149 approved respirator if exposure limits are exceeded or symptoms are experienced. Eye/Face Wear safety glasses. Skin/Body Wear leather gloves when handling cylinders. Environmental Exposure Controls Follow best practice for site management and disposal of waste. Controls should be engineered to prevent release to the environment, including procedures to prevent spills, atmospheric release and release to waterways.
